21 June

It's the summer solstice today, the longest day of the year, and though it has felt like summer for awhile already, it is now officially summer. So happy summer everyone! May it not go by so quickly this year. On the news this morning, they were showing the crowds who had gathered at Stonehenge last night- it looked like thousands of people- must have been quite the party! And there was a beautiful orange sunrise this morning over the stones. I'm starting to dream about Hawaiian sunrises and sunsets at this point, which are only a little over two weeks away for me!

As for England last night- oops. They had what looked like a decent start to the game, but seemed to fall apart after Sweden scored their first goal, and the game ended in a 2-2 tie. So they've still not beaten Sweden since the 1960s, they lost a key player (Owen) to injury, and they still have a lot to answer for to the fans and to themselves.
